I do not feel quite right today. I slept an inordinate amount of time and still feel tired and have a bit of a headache. At any rate, I've finally gotten the episode (as well as today's PMD) up and hopefully you find them to be an enjoyment. That said, I hope that you are all well for the coming day. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 12.17.03 (December 17th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I am leaving the PMD up today since I updated so late yesterday. Today I'm still late (I slept for an incredibly long time) but I'm much closer to being on time. Today's episode returns us to our resistance's journey, with Moon Pig boldly giving up the view of his face for the sake of semi-logical text-box placement. I thank him for it. @.@ That said, I think I'll let this blurb end. Pchan should be returning from his trip today, and I hope to see him when he does. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 12.16.03 (December 16th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. @.@ Today has been good in how tests went, bad in how time went. Pchan left on a day's vacation today, studying and that kept me from the episode before after class, and I fell asleep on the couch immediately after I got home for about four hours. @.@ At any rate, I know that these episodes with Mike aren't the most interesting, but they are relevent for things to come. I'm dwelling on them a bit more than I would normally because of time constraints of the past few days, but with tomorrow we'll move back to things more currently relevent and hopefully you'll enjoy that. Be well, everyone. Enjoy the day. Enjoy the PMD. Be well. Until tomorrow, bai! 12.15.03 (December 15th, 2003 CE): N-finity here again. Gah. Things finally finished up around 9:00 PM, although there was a small bit of nap in there. Today has not been good. I am really, really sorry over all this, but there really was nothing better that I could do. Hopefully things will now go well. Let us hope so. Be well, everyone. I go now to try to fix my sound card. Be well. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! N-finity here. Today has not been a good day. Episode will be here soon. Be well until then. -_- I really wanted to get the episode out early this morning, too... 12.14.03 (December 14th, 2003 CE): N-finity here again. Okay, we've got the breakdown now. Episode 861 of N-Fans, entitled "So-Called Mercy". For Fantella, as you may have noticed, we have page 93 of Fantella as well as pages 166 and 167 of Captain N: Tales of Videoland. Finally, we have a little bonus/apology from me for my falling asleep. It's a simple little Fantella background, but I like it. Enjoy it and be well. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 12.14.03 (December 14th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I was watching Goonies this morning... and then it was 5:20 PM. -_- The episode will be up as soon as it is finished enjoy the manga until then. -_- Bleh is the falling asleep. Be well until then. 12.13.03 (December 13th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, I woke up this morning having to try to help my mom get her eBay password back. Not easy on a computer that kept accessing our ISP's cache so it refused to save her logging in or requesting data to restore. It was blehness. At any rate, I hope that you enjoy today's episode. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 12.12.03 (December 12th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Today was the final day of normal classes. Next week, finals... and then vacation. Yay, I guess. Well, talking to Ryan, one of the people in my Assembly class, we figured out that the idiot that is the so-called instructor for the class has neglected to put up 13 bonus points for him, 8 bonus points for me, and also a 20 point program that for some reason he has not put up on the gradesheet. He really bothers me a good bit. ^^ I want him dismissed from his position. Not for the fact that he can't teach and has wasted my money except for my self-forcing of teaching myself more than the meager amount he offered, but for the benefit of future students. He is not an instructor of any sort. He does not teach. To break down what I have learned, I would say about 85% of it I taught myself, around 13% would be discussion with other students locally, and the remaining two percent would be in part due to him. However, the concept of Little Endian and Big Endian did not truly solidify until I encountered it elsewhere, a situation that would have made me understand it even without his unnecessarily extended (and overall uninformative) lesson on it which basically was no more than a word-for-word reading from the book. But that is not a happy thought, and today's episode pretty much is some silly fun, but also of good. I hope that you agree and enjoy it. Be well, everyone. Enjoy the episode. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, I wsih you well. Until then, bai! f 12.11.03 (December 11th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I'm worried that I'm coming down with something. Perhaps yes, but perhaps no. We'll see. At any rate, I slept for a long time which means I may have avoided it even if I am becoming ill. We will, again, see. Regardless, today's episode is not a very happy one, but I hope that you'll enjoy it as part of this series. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 12.10.03 (December 10th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Today was a day. z.z I woke up at around 7:00 AM and studied Calculus and UNIX for about two hours. The good news? I think I probably got 100% on both of the tests unless I switched my memory on two types of backup in UNIX... but that's only a 50-50 sort of thing. The bad news: It's 4:40 PM. @.@ Erk and bleh. That said, I'll leave this blurb and upload the update. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 12.09.03 (December 9th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Buns wants to blurb. Buns also gets gift. He does not know this. But he gets it. ^^ Happy birthday, buns. Be well. Until tomorrow, I wish the same to all of you. Be well. Until then, bai! TANJOUBI PCHAN KOKO!! Hewwo!! Well, what a year it's been! There has been so much going on and I have to say that it's been a good year. I'll remember it fondly for all the things that happened. I want to thank all of you who personally know me and I also always appreciate the people who may never have written me a single email but read the manga and PMD regularly every week. You know who you are! :) Pchan is taking a break from PMD this week for his birthday, so please enjoy the archives of PMD with the button on the right navigational bar beside N-Fans. Please also enjoy the Manga button there too! After last night's millipede emergency rescue...well, I'm exhausted. But at least the millies are happy and safe. You be safe too. The holiday season in December can be dangerous because sometimes people get so caught up in their own affairs that they might endanger others. You be aware of yourself and others, and be careful. And be careful not to catch cold! Sounding a lot like your mother, this is pchan signing off for today. I love you all and will see you soon!!! ^o^ 12.08.03 (December 8th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I was five minutes away from completion when I had to go to class. @.@ Being late for Calculus class in *not* a happy option with the instructor, and he's a decent guy so I have no reason to want to purposefully irk him. At any rate, here we are, episode completed, and only around twenty minutes or so after I got home. Takes a few minutes for me to switch modes. *laughS* At any rate, I wish you all well today and hope that you enjoy today's episode. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 12.07.03 (December 7th, 2003 CE): N-finity here again. You know, to be honest, considering the way this day started, things have worked out fairly well and, for the time being, I'm not even going to get into them. It's just not necessary. At any rate, today's episode is entitled "Ride of The Moon Pig, Part 1". Part 2 will come (most likely animated) tomorrow, as I'm far too exhausted to do it right now. *laughs* I really am. @.@ Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! N-finity here. Here we are, the first part of Sunday Special #112. No episode yet, but that's because of a variety of things and I will get the episode finished as soon as I can. For now, however, we have all of Pchan's offerings for this week. That means page 92 of Fantella, page 165 of Captain N: Tales of Videoland, and even a special Legendra pin-up for those of you that would like a robot instead of the normal guy or gal. With that said, I need to get going. I'm being called down to my dad's work now to finish up the Flash project I've been working on for him. I should be back with the episode soon. Be well, everyone. Until I return with the episode, bai! 12.06.03 (December 6th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I know that I could focus more on the actualities of the battle, on the droids and the other resistance members, but for various reasons right now I'm going to stick to showing our group of resistance members that we know. When things important happen, I will do my best to show. At any rate, I wish all of you well. May the rest of your day be joyous and full of life. I apologize for being late. Be well. Until tomorrow, the Sunday Special, and all that comes with it, bai! 12.05.03 (December 5th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I'm needing to get going off to class, but I've just finished the episode so here it is. I hope that you enjoy it. Also, below, for those that did not see it yesterday, I've included the little omake Pchan did of me on a soda walk. I'll put it into the art section or such soon enough, most likely, but for now I leave it here. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Enjoy the episode. Be well. Until tomorrow, bai! 12.04.03 (December 4th, 2003 CE): N-finity here again. And back again. Wow, this episode was much more busy than I had intended. We see Wario's little tank, a bit of the gathering... Hmm. At any rate, since I need to get ready to go to my little brother's school music-play thing and Pchan has a bit of a blurb, I'll leave this at that. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! PCHAN KOKO!! I hope you are all keeping well this season. Both myself and my friend Yoshiko, with whom I correspond (she lives in Japan), have both wrestled with bad colds this year! Don't you be a victim of them too. Especially be careful of getting the flu! This week has been really hard on the pchan because of some bad planning on the part of a teacher who hasn't planned too well during the whole semester. But at least the worst is behind me. Still, I've somehow hurt my shoulder and my hand hurts from writing so much! I'm a virtual basketcase this week I'm afraid. I've also been working more on the pictures for the upcoming youkai site that I intend to do as soon as possible...yay pchan! Ganbare pchan! Let's hope that it works out. Be sure to support it when it does come online! A lot of hard work has been put into it! Well, that's about all I wanted to say. I know I'm awfully talkative, but I had to catch you up on what's been happening in the world of pchan lately. Think of this as my "free talk" as I don't put it in the manga margins. ^^ Be well and stay warm and safe this season. N-finity here. And here we go again! The episode should be up shortly, but in the meantime we have a PMD and a special little Pchan Omake I demanded of the Pchan buns when he made light of my going on "Soda Walks". He made it and made it well. ^^ At any rate, I'll be back in about an hour at most with the episode and (I believe) a blurb Pchan as well. Be well, everyone. Until then, bai! 12.03.03 (December 3rd, 2003 CE): N-finity here again. First off, here is the full version of the thing I was talking about below. I messed up, however. It was a thing from one of Pchan's friends in England, not someone from the IRC channel. At any rate, the story goes onward with another day and another episode. I need to get some other things done today as well, so enjoy your day and be well. Until tomorrow, everyone, I wish you well. Until then, bai! N-finity here. I woke up late today and just got back from classes. The episode is forthcoming, but I thought it might be appreciated if I put something up in the meantime. This is something someone in the IRC channel sent Pchan who then sent it to me. I made it a bit smaller to fit in the normal episode location. I'll post the full version with the episode. It really shows how imperfect our eyes are at interpreting things. Be well, everyone. I'll be back soon with the episode! Until then, bai! 12.02.03 (December 2nd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. *yawns and stretches* Well, here we are, Tuesday already, and we've got a new episode and a new Pchan Mahou Densetsu to go along with that. At any rate, it's almost time for me to be off to class already this morning, so I shall let this blurb end. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 12.01.03 (December 1st, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Wow, it's December. o_o Time flies. It really does. Speaking of time, I need to get a few things done before class, so I'll keep this short. My friends, my readers, I wish you the best of days today. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, be well. Until then, bai! 11.30.03 (November 30th, 2003 CE): N-finity here once more. And, upon the demand of the Pchan, I now have a birthday notice. Happy Birthday, Mr. Disco Duck. You are one-fourth of a century old. The implications of that are obvious. 8:06 AM 12/1/2003 N-finity here again. And I'm back. An hour later than intended, but the episode needed a few adjustments in timing at the end of it and I was a bit slow with it to begin with. I think that it turned out well, at any rate, so that's good. And that completes this Sunday Special #111. Episode 847 of N-Fans: The Series, entitled "The Gift of Pie". A nice little Team Yellow. No flying pies, but given pies. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! N-finity here. I've been working on the Flash for my dad's work most of the night while I tried to think up today's episode. I'm still not ready for the First Engagement... and I wasn't sure what to do for today. So... noticing the time, I decided to put up the manga before I finished doing the episode. So what do we have for this Sunday Special? Well, two pages of each manga again, that's what. Captain N: Tales of Videoland has pages 163 and 164 and pages 90 and 91 of Fantella: Zombie Fighter. At any rate, I'll be back in about an hour with today's episode if all goes well. Be well, everyone. Until then, bai! 11.29.03 (November 29th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, things are going well. The Flash my for my dad's work is progressing nicely, UNIForm is being updated nicely, little things as well as bigger, and I'm really happy with this episode. At any rate, it's time for me to sleep. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow and the Sunday Special, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 11.28.03 (November 28th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I forgot to put the PMD up on this page (despite that I even actually uploaded it) for a few hours after the update yesterday, so it remains up today as well. Pchan wanted me to actually get to the First Engagement today, but we're not quite ready for that... so I thought I'd give you a little view of what actually is coming. Psama is not a happy evil megalomaniac. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 11.27.03 (November 27th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. As you may know, today is not Pi Day. However, today is a Pie Day, and thus there is pie. It also felt like a day that we should see some of the lesser seen characters of these tales, and thus we have Kitty, Tweeter, and Onionchan. They know not to worry. ^^ They are wise. ^^ Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 11.26.03 (November 26th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Okay, project report... Calculus Test: Completed Assembly, Chapter 5 Programs (x3): Completed Assembly, Chapter 3-4 Exam-Related Bonus Point Programs (x10): Completed Flash Program for Makoché: Early Stages And I know that there's a lot that I'm missing. I'm so incredibly tired. A lot of that is yesterday, too. Crappy, though, was today. I was going to go to sleep... and then my upper right shoulder began to hurt. It still does. I'mn going to try to sleep after this since I could barely stay asleep last night... but it is very annoying. It's not a huge pain... it's just a fairly steady pain. It worsens and relieves with time, but the amount of movement my shoulder undergoes seems to have little to do with the level of pain. Regardless, I'm too tired to really do more to this... so I'm going to go now. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day, enjoy the episode. Until tomorrow, be well. Until then (pending possible lateness if my arm is still not well when I wake), bai! 11.25.03 (November 25th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I must run! So much has been done! Be well, everyone! Bai! 11.24.03 (November 24th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Report for World Religions, check. Episode, check. Pchan Thingie, check. Typed Assembly programs that have previously been scribed onto paper, no check. Drat. Well, that'll be what I do after classes today, since I wasn't sure if I would even have this episode done before classes. Fortunately, I have finished the episode and I'm actually fairly happy with it. We haven't seen much of Psama, even though much of what he does is in this small frame that we see in these episodes. Hrm... At any rate, I wish you all well and hope that you enjoy this episode. I have lots of other things to do this week as well, but I'll tell you about some of them later. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, bai! 11.23.03 (November 23rd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. And here we are with Sunday Special #110 and Episode 840 of N-Fans, simply (and aptly) titled "Reunion". In addition, we have rescans of last week's manga for reasons Pchan will explain below as well as two new pages: page 89 of Fantella and page 162 of Captain N. At any rate, I hope that you enjoy our offerings. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, bai! PCHAN KOKO!! I hope you will enjoy this Sunday's Special as I have included two new pages as well as the pages from last week, rescanned since last week's were absolutely horrible as I was recovering from my hard drive's crash and struggling to get my usual software recognized. I hope you'll enjoy our very special pages this week! Contact me for any commission work if you're in need. Thanks again and keep reading! :) 11.22.03 (November 22nd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Correction! The LEGO segment was shown! ^o^ It was, however, only shown on the East Coast. ._. We're trying to get a copy from a relative and if I can get that, you'll probably get clips. ^^ He won. ^^ Turkey-building contest! ^o^ Yes, 4,000 pieces of a random nature... and turkey-building with them. o_o With colors probably not a good matching, too. o_o And he did it! ^o^ He won. ^^ Yay! ^o^ And now he gets to go to Legoland competition. o_o This is, of course, in hope for that he can quit being a lawyer and doing something more creative for a living while still actually able to pay off his student loans. It would be nice, yes it would. ^^ Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow and the Sunday Special, bai! 11.21.03 (November 21st, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Sadness. The LEGO segment on the Today Show was not done. ._. It is poop and sadness and there is little else to be said. But I will give a URL to discredit the theory than I am a delusional madman. Delusional, perhaps. But never a madman. http://nathanbrickartist.com/ Some of his work, including the Han Solo in Carbonite. I like the Bunny Ambulance. ^^ At any rate, enjoy the episode and be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 11.20.03 (November 20th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Happy Birthday, Doc. 26 years old and still going. *laughs* I'm amazed that there actually hasn't been a full birthday episode for you. Last year you were in Sub-Con and had an inkling it was your birthday... and the year before Lisa was kicking Mark, with you having been watching with Mike as the others tried to build the day before. And this year it's just a sight of you in the past at another birthday party. Maybe some year you'll actually be in a place where you'll able to celebrate it. It would be a nice change, would it not? Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 11.19.03 (November 19th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I must run! Be well, everyone! Enjoy the episode! Until tomorrow, bai! 11.18.03 (November 18th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, poop. My cousin's LEGO-building appearance is now on Friday from family reports. @.@ Mike Myers, so I think we can expect a Cat In The Hat/Odd Vehicles sort of theme for the build. Hrm. We'll see. At any rate, I need to get some things done before class today, so I wish you all well. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! Oh, and I hope you like Moon Pig. ^^ He is huge and has been for a long time expected to appear, but never has until now. o_o I like how he turned out. Xander did the work on him based on the instructions I gave and he looks perfect. ^^ Be well! ^^ Until tomorrow, be well. Until then, bai! 11.17.03 (November 17th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, what was turning out to be a rather unpleasant day (I managed to mute my alarm in my sleep and was quite too near late for school except for that I was able to get a ride) is slowly turning out to be a wonderful one. On my walk home from classes, I ended up encountering a dog. A tan-coated sort of terrier, if my dog breeds are correct. Absolutely adorable, but very dirty: huge mud splotch on side and all that sort. At any rate, I tried to scare her to get her to go home... but she would not go. So, we journeyed home together. This was all fine and good, and I tried to read her tag as we walked. This did not work for around thirty minutes... she did not like having her tags read. So, we walked. She chased some squirrels, followed me, and we kept going. Eventually, we got home. Knocked on the door and rang the doorbell and eventually my mom came to the door. We debated what to do, I chased the dog around to keep her entertained and around us, and eventually (after a good deal of running to get her back after she ran off once) my mom and I decided that we would try the number. We had earlier, but it had been just an answering machine... and I had no idea for address. Second call after my chasing to get her back did work, though, and we found out that the dog, Scooter, had escaped this morning from Highland Acres, a decent distance from even BSC area, where I had found her. Her owner arrived to pick her up just as she ran off again, and the chase began anew. Eventually, I was able to get my hands around her collar as she decided a black cat would be fun to bark at. She didn't want to move back, but she would at least not be able to go forward. A few seconds' barking brought my mom and the owner, and the dog had her leash put back on and we walked back to our house and the owner's car. She attempted to give me some money for doing what I had done, but I thankfully refused. I got a fun companion on the walk home: how could I expect money for what was to me a reward? ^^ At any rate, it has been a good day... And then I got this, some family related e-mail. (Note: Nathan referred to below is not related to that of the Nathan shown in N-Fan.) > It's true! > > Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 18, Nathan and 1 other contestant will appear > on the Today show as part of a LEGO building contest. Both contestants > will be given assorted LEGO bricks and a theme (unfortunately the theme > will not be given in advance) and they will be given 45 minutes to build > something. The contest will be judged by a LEGO master builder (who > happens to be the grandson of the man that invented LEGO).

Now if this was 1984, he might be > really excited. Needless to say, I'm pretty happy that he won't be > sitting in the green room with Halle Berry or Penelope Cruz! Personally, I think Cyndi is the best and couldn't imagine wanting to sit within the same building either of the other ones by comparison. Cyndi rules. ^^ She has a new CD coming out tomorrow! ^o^ I'm excited for it. ^^ But this ducks the main excitement! Nathan will be on TV and doing the LEGO stuffs! ^O^ He rules. He is amazing. He has build Han Solo encased in carbonite (full scale) out of LEGOs. And I consider that one of his *less* impressive models. 45 minutes isn't much time... it's usually 200 hours for one of his more major builds, but we'll see. ^^ I'm so excited. ^^ Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until tomorrow, let joy and innocence prevail. Be well. Bai! 11.16.03 (November 16th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. And here we go! Sunday Special #109 with Episode 833 of N-Fans: The Series, entitled "Eclipsing Moon", pages 160 and 161 of Captain N: Tales of Videoland, and page 88 of Fantella: Zombie Fighter. I've also finally added the N-Fans Index, which I think you'll probably all enjoy. It seperates the episodes just by Mission and number right now, but I'll see if I can get some better seperation or at least episode titles in the days to come. It is dynamicly generated, though, so that's at least a plus. At any rate, I hope that you enjoy the offerings of this Sunday Special. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until tomorrow and a bit of an understanding of what all is happening in this episode, bai! 11.15.03 (November 15th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Wow. @.@ I went to sleep at like 1:00 AM, set my alarm for 3:30 AM to talk to Pchan when he got back from going out with the Lord Watanga, woke up... re-set my alarm for 4:30... didn't press enter... and bleh. @.@ 5:00 PM, I woke up. @.@ That didn't work well. Amazingly, this episode went together comparatively fast for all I needed to prepare for it... and it's before 7:00 PM right now and it's going up. I wish you all well, my friends, my readers. I hope that you enjoy this fairly long episode and enjoy those soon to come. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 11.14.03 (November 14th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. And now is the time to nap before class. Be well, everyone. Enjoy the episode and enjoy your day. And, as a personal reminder, even if it doesn't include the episode titles, get the Mission-seperated index up for Sunday. Be well, again. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! And to the Jakechan, our Lord Watanga, a happy birthday unto you. Be well, Jakechan. ^^ We love you so very much. 11.13.03 (November 13th, 2003 CE): N-finity here again. Well, that took a good bit longer than expected, but I'm finally done. I hope that you enjoy the episode. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! N-finity here. After being up for 26 or so hours yesterday after classes and then a dentist appointment, I slept. I slept long. 16 hours. Wonderful 42 hour day. @.@ At any rate, I woke up just around thirty minutes ago and haven't been able to finish the episode before class at 1:00 PM, twenty minutes from now. I'll be back from class at around 3:00 PM, so the episode should be done shortly after then. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day and check back then. Until then, bai! 11.12.03 (November 12th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. And here we are, slightly after 7:00 AM, with the episode. I'm rather pleased: I think that it turned out rather well, and I think that the episodes to come will work out well as well. Pchan is giving me a sketch of exactly how we work towards having the Tear-Makers work today, and hopefully I'll be able to get that made properly (or at least be able to get made properly with the help of others). We'll see. I hope that it can be done well and expediantly. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day and enjoy the episode. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 11.11.03 (November 11th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. @.@ My alarm didn't go off at 6:00 AM when it should have. I slept twelve more hours after that. @.@ I'm so sorry. I'll keep this short. Be well, everyone. I'll update before even a nap for tomorrow. Enjoy the episode. Enjoy the small bit of your day left. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 11.10.03 (November 10th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I'm sorry for being so late today. I just had absolutely no idea what to do. Fortunately, the buns was eventually able to help me and, through his script, the episode was made. Therefore, he's going to blurb today as well. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, be well. Until then, bai! PCHAN KOKO!! Well, today we have another appearance of the terrible Psama. Let's hope his reign is not much longer! I think he senses the nearness of Pchan and Moocow, but it depends on the two of them meeting up... In lighter news, my own site has been updated at http://hushicho.captainn.net with new link banners! Show your support by linking to my site with one of the banners on your own site or forum signature for forums that support it. There's also a great new manga button on the right bar courtesy of webbychan. YAY!! I love you all and I hope you stay warm on this chilly day. It's snowing in Animal Crossing, at least on my game...xebnax... :) The end! ^o^ <3 11.09.03 (November 9th, 2003 CE): N-finity here again. And we're done. It took a bit longer than I expected, but the episode is up, despite being huge. It turned out well, though, so I shan't complain. At any rate, we've got a lot of stuff for this Sunday Special, so let me begin. For this, the 108th Sunday Special, we've got Episode 826 of N-Fans: The Series, entitled "Flashes In The Dark". We've also got page 159 of Captain N: Tales of Videoland and pages 86 and 87 of Fantella: Zombie Fighter. In addition to that, we've also got the Manga Index, which is a new, dynamically generated listing of all manga-related files. If you want to see if you've missed a page, that page is the one to check to do so easily. Also, we've got a LOT of artwork. One piece of Wolfie from Pchan, and a whopping six pieces from Team Yellow. Three Team portraits, one more team grouping for Lalala's 19th birthday, and two featuring a combination of Pchan with Watanga or myself. All excellent, so check them out. ^^ I think that pretty much sums up this Sunday Special, so I'll leave it at that. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! N-finity here. Well, I woke up late and just finally have been able to get everything but the episode done. The episode should be done soon, though, so check back in about an hour or so and it should be up. Until then, be well! 11.08.03 (November 8th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Doc's hair makes him a bit hard to see, but at least I can still trace him out, even in that last frame. Perhaps my monitor brightness really is high. *shrugs* At any rate, I was a bit slow with today's episode and apologize for that, but it was mostly due to my working on (with the help of Lucy) a set of PHP scripts for something that will be added tomorrow for the Sunday Special. That said, I'll get this episode up. I hope that you enjoy it. Be well, my friends, my readers. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, bai! 11.07.03 (November 7th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, here we are, Friday already. I didn't sleep terribly much through the night, but I was able to get the episode done (thankfully) before I it is time to go to class. At any rate, I don't have much to say today, so I'll not let this drag on and on. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until tomorrow, enjoy your day. Until then, bai! 11.06.03 (November 6th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Here we are. Up right before 5:00 PM, I slept for nearly sixteen hours and woke up at 11:45 AM, having to get to class by 1:00 PM and by foot. So... I had to do this when I got home. @.@ Two and a half hours after getting home, I'm done. As is so often true, Team Yellow-related episodes tend to take longer for me for some reason. @.@ If I get a background made/recieved/done before the episode tomorrow, I'll do Adam again tomorrow. I apologize for the lateness of this episode. Be well, everyone. Enjoy the episode and enjoy what remains of today. Until tomorrow, be well. Until then, bai! 11.05.03 (November 5th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. And here we are, back with Watanga and our little Xebnaxian troupe. I hope that you enjoy today's episode. Now is time for me to get ready for class, so I wish you well and must be off. Until tomorrow, be well. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, bai! 11.04.03 (November 4th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, after a nice sleep, I've finished my Calc thing that goes for my test today, done a little work on a few things, and done the episode, which I think turned out pretty much perfect for what I wanted it to be. I hope that you enjoy this episode and your day. I wish you well in whatever you do. Until tomorrow, be well. Until then, bai! 11.03.03 (November 3rd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Sooooooo tiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrred............ *Today's blurb is brought to you by Webster, passing out quickly from lack of sleep. He wishes you a good day and hopes that you enjoy it. Be well. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, he wishes you well. Until then, bai!* 11.02.03 (November 2nd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. And the Sunday Special finally arrives! I know that there is no manga this week... Pchan will explain that... but we do have a wonderful special thing in that I've finally judged and have had judged the coloring contest entries. There were only eight, so I've put them all up, but the top two for the Photoshop and MS Paint categories are both listed. I'm kinda disappointed, though, to be a honest... no one used markers on crayons! Come on, I know some of you might not use markers and crayons on a daily basis, but I at least expected one. :P They're excellent regardless, though. ^^ At any rate, in addition to the coloring contest entries, we have Episode 819 of N-Fans: The Series, entitled "Watanga's Ongoing Journey: Trials of The Journey" as well as the write-up I requested from Pchan. You can read the write-up in The Moocow-Xebnaxian Bond. Feel free to respond if you have any other questions regarding this matter, or here for more general Moocow questions. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day and enjoy the episode and all the offerings. Be well. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! Pchan koko!! I'm sure you have noticed that there is no manga this week. Well, there is a reason for that. Several reasons actually. You see, I have a really horrible class that I'm taking this semester where the teacher has a severe planning problem. So this week I had a massive hand-written essay exam, a smaller test, and a large discussion question to write. My arthritic finger was not doing all that well after that. Then I decided to carve a pumpkin. Bad idea, since I used the same hand and the finger got worse. By the time that Samhain rolled around...which to me is lots of preparation and solemn contemplation...I wasn't really able to get any significant amount of the manga done. I've tried since then but my hand just hurts too much. It makes it difficult to do my best, and I always want to do my best for you all. I hope you'll understand. The manga will return next week, and hopefully with an extra-special little omake on the side. Thanks for all your support, and I do apologize for the fact that it couldn't happen this week. Please do read next week. :) Thanks for your support! Wuv wuv!! 11.01.03 (November 1st, 2003 CE): N-finity here. @.@ Here we are again. Saturday. Late day. @.@ My little brother got his red belt in Tae-Kwon-Do today while I slept. Spiffiness it was. ^^ At any rate, this episode is more special than it would appear at first glance, but I want Pchan to explain why... but he's sleeping right now. I'll ask him to do a little write-up on it and see if he can do it before tomorrow's Sunday Special so it can be a part of it. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 10.31.03 (October 31st, 2003 CE):   10.30.03 (October 30th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I'm going to nap right after this is up and I'm quite tired, so I'll let Pchan do the blurb today. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! PCHAN KOKO!! I want to say hello to everyone! I love you all and I hope you will have a good Halloween/Samhain. Please keep in mind all those special to you who are beyond the veil now. They will come to give you strength. It is a special time of year when this world and the other worlds are so close together they touch. There is no wall in-between. Let's keep that special. I hope you have a wonderful day and week and keep those special to you in your hearts and minds. n.n 10.29.03 (October 29th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I didn't have classes today. @.@ This meant that I slept 15 hours. @.@ This means that the episode is now, at a bit past 4:00 PM. @.@ I apologize. -_- *sighs* I hope that you enjoy the episode. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 10.28.03 (October 28th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Today is a tiring day. I'm not sure why, but it is. At any rate, I had to do this episode after my first class of the day, so I apologize for being around three hours later than intended. I hope that you enjoy it, along with the PMD for today. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 10.27.03 (October 27th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Monday already. @.@ Weekends are far too short. At any rate, it's 6:00 AM and I'm wanting to get an hour of napping before class. To do that, I'll keep this short. Enjoy your day, everyone. Be well. Until tomorrow, bai! 10.26.03 (October 26th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Here we are with Sunday Special #106 and Episode 812 of N-Fans: The Series. We only have Fantella this week because of Pchan feeling a bit off and not quite well enough to do all four of the normal pages, but I've created a set of backgrounds as a sort of substitution. That set of backgrounds is entitled "A Simple Moocow", and is just a nice little set of simple backgrounds, one for each of the lovable Moocows that has been involved in the journey for more than just an episode or two. While Lime, Lemon, Orange, and the others could have their backgrounds, these three seem enough. Nadeshiko. Moocow. Shiroi. Three Moocows, one set of backgrounds. I like them. I hope that you do as well. At any rate, today's episode of N-Fans, before I forget, is entitled "Watanga's Ongoing Journey: Arrival In The Alternate World", and the page numbers for the Fantella this week are 84 and 85. I hope that you enjoy all these offerings. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! Side Note: Oh my! I just noticed. In the past eight to twelve hours... we passed the 400,000 barrier. Thank you so much, my friends, my readers. Thank you. Be well. ^^ 10.25.03 (October 25th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, I think I'm slowly switching back to nocturnal again... we'll see. @.@ 6:00 PM. Sorry about that. At any rate, I had some awesome dreams relating to all sorts of things... especially car-planes, for some reason. Odd stuff. At any rate, I hope that you enjoy the episode and your day. Until tomorrow, be well. Until then, bai! 10.24.03 (October 24th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Bloody sleep kept me until after 8:00 AM. Actually, amusingly, to nearly 8:10 AM, matching this episode's number. At any rate, I had to rush to even get to class near on-time... and so I just finished the episode now. @.@ Bleh. I'm sorry. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 10.23.03 (October 23rd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Wow. Awesome dreams. And, for a Thursday, not even really late. I had this one dream that was odd, but I don't believe a nightmare... and then turned into my dad waking me up on the couch because I had apparently screamed. And then I see Nick, one of my brother's friends, in the background... and he's staring at me. He can be a really freaky looking kid... so I screamed. Woke up. Hrm... Odd. At any rate, I hope that you enjoy the episode. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, enjoy your day. Until then, bai! 10.22.03 (October 22nd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Bleh. @.@ This morning really sucked. I have brief half-awake memories of going over to my keyboard at 4:00 AM, trying to turn off my alarm as I had only intended to nap... and being so much still in sleep that after a bit I typed /servicesoff, which has absolutely nothing to do with my alarm whatsoever... and then again at probably around (I'm guessing) 7:20 to 7:30 AM... when my little brother came downstairs, declared "He's awake", as I lay motionless on the couch, not conscious enough to respond or move, just enough to open my eyes slightly after he said this and went back upstairs. I noticed the monitor was on, but no one was typing. I always am typing at the computer, and I generally say "Hi-hi, Graham-Graham" when he comes down in the morning. I obviously was not up. bleh. @.@ I lost any recollection of anything before he was on the fourth step. So, at any rate, my dad yells down at 7:50... I actually wake up. -_- And he's leaving out the door to go to work. Yeah. Thanks a lot, especially since my mom left at 5:30 AM to go to a meeting. -_- Don't wake me or even try to wake me until you're going out the door. Thanks a lot. Perhaps I should use my alarm clock that I have let my little brother use to make sure *he* gets up in the morning. -_- My feet hurt. I had to walk the distance between home and college three times yesterday, twice today. I have a blister forming under a broken blister... *sighs* Be well, everyone. I'm sorry for not being able to get this out earlier, but I think that the episode I produced now is better than the one I would have produced earlier. I've also included a little background as an apology... something I made messing around with new filters. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, bai! 10.21.03 (October 21st, 2003 CE): N-finity here. And today's episode came out fairly well, I think. You have to get what Moocow is saying, but that's fairly easy, I think. Moocow is rarely hard to understand. At any rate, we have PMD and we have episode and it is time for me to go. Be well, everyone. Enjoy the episode and enjoy your day. Until tomorrow and the next episode, bai! 10.20.03 (October 20th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. And I must hurry off now. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, bai! 10.19.03 (October 19th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. So tired. z.z It's just past 10:00 AM and the episode is about to go up. For this, the one-hundred and fifth Sunday Special, we have four pages of manga and a special Fantella pinup, as well as today's episode of N-Fans. Fantella's two pages are pages 82 and 83 while Captain N: Tales of Videoland brings pages 157 and 158. The Fantella pin-up is inspired by Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" and today's episodes of N-Fans is Episode 805, entitled "Watanga's Xebnaxian Journey: In Between". I hope that you enjoy all that Pchan and I have created for you for today. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, be well. Until then, bai! 10.18.03 (October 18th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Hoooooooooooly crap. o_o I slept way too long. Around twelve hours longer than expected. I expected to get up to my alarm after around five to six hours of sleep at around 7:30 AM. Instead, I woke up around 7:00 PM... apparently having muted the television, turning to the weather radar channel, and then finally going over to the computer, turning the volume dial to mute, and then turning the monitor on so I could turn the alarm off before turning the monitor off again... all without gaining enough consciousness to recall it. Grah. @.@ I hadn't had enough sleep in the past few days. I guess this is make-up for that time. At any rate, I've finished today's episode and I hope that you enjoy it. As a little bonus, I'm offering up 3.515625% version of the full-sized Super Metroid map that I've made for you to take a little look at. Space Station Ceres and the debug room both aren't on the map, but they're things that I can get to later. At any rate, I hope that you enjoy what is left of your day. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow and the Sunday Special, bai! 10.17.03 (October 17th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I must run! Be well, everyone! Enjot the episode! Until tomorrow, be well. Bai! 10.16.03 (October 16th, 2003 CE): N-finity here again. Well, it turned out that it was a plug-in that was causing the problems. That plug-in has now been removed and all seems to be well. Enjoy the episode, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 10.16.03 (October 16th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, the removal of a plugin for Photoshop I tried a few days ago has been causing me problems with Photoshop, and right now I can't even do an arbitrary rotation. Really annoying, and something I need to reinstall Photoshop for before I can really do an episode. Because of this, I am reinstalling Photoshop now and will do the episode after I return from class. This means PMD now, episode in about three hours. It's right after noon right now since I slept longer than I meant to. (I actually didn't mean to sleep when I went to the couch at all, but having that I did, I still slept longer than I meant to.) At any rate, I'll be back in around three hours with the episode. I wish you well. Until I return, be well. Until then, bai! 10.15.03 (October 15th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I must run! It's 8:20 and class begins so soon. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well, until then, bai! 10.14.03 (October 14th, 2003 CE): N-finity here again. I being me, I forgot, as per the norm, to put today's PMD, despite having actually seen that I had it and actually looked at it not too long before updating the site. *laughs* But that's how I am sometimes, especially during mornings. Be well, everyone. I apologize for forgetting to put the PMD up earlier. Be well. Until tomorrow, bai! 10.14.03 (October 14th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Episode 800. ^^ I wish I had more time to write, but right now I don't. It seems that all the storylines are starting to converge upon where Pchan and I are right now... so we'll have to see how that comes along. At any rate, I wish you well. Enjoy your day and be well. Until tomorrow, bai! 10.13.03 (October 13th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Erk! I just remembered that I forgot to put my jeans in the dryer! >.< May they be dry by the time I set off for class... it's about thirty minutes... so it *is* possible. I really hope so. At any rate, I'm just getting ready for class and don't really have much to blurb about, so I won't make this any longer. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 10.12.03 (October 12th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Woo! Done. @.@ This episode didn't seem to take that long, but it seems like it's been around three hours since I started this episode and the files related to it. At any rate, we're here with Sunday Special #104 with the return of Fantella: Zombie Fighter, with pages 80 and 81, the first two of the fourth story in the Fantella series. While Pchan forbids me to say what this storyline will entail, I will say that I think that it will be an incredibly humorous and fun addition to the series. As for Captain N, we only have page, page 156, but it is well worth it. As for today's N-Fans, it is Episode 798, entitled "Watanga's Xebnaxian Journey: Off To Lost Friends", and the end of this part of Watanga's journey. Not quite over yet... but he's reaching there. I hope that you enjoy our offerings. Be well, my friends, my readers. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 10.11.03 (October 11th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I have no excuse. It's 7:30 PM. @.@ I woke up just a little over two hours ago, from which time I've been helping Phoenix with computer stuffies, putting away groceries, and doing the episode you see now. I slept for around twelve hours... Pchan kept me up there. He installed Windows XP last night, and I was guide for helping him get stuff working. He seems to be liking it, and I hope he continues to. I hope so. At any rate, I'll be back in a few hours with the Sunday Special, most likely around 4:00 AM. Be well, everyone. I apologize for sleeping so late. Be well. Until tomorrow and the Sunday Special, bai! 10.10.03 (October 10th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, Midco fixed their upload problem... at least for now... so I can finally get this episode up. I had a pretty cruddy morning... woke up at 8:20 AM... and had to go off right to class immediately. @.@ Bleh. My UNIX class had a test... almost forgot about it... double bleh. Couldn't print the papers due to problems with Red Hat... triple bleh. @.@ At any rate, the episode is now finally done, and I hope that you enjoy it. Be well, everyone. I wish you well. Until tomorrow, bai! 10.09.03 (October 9th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Okay, I better explain what the problem yesterday was. My ability to upload has disappeared. Beyond files of about 1 KB in size, I can't send anything. "So how did I get this up?" you ponder? Well... that would be thanks to Lucy and Nanda. Nanda accepted the dozens and dozens of 1 KB files that made up the multi-part RAR for this update... and then sent a compiled ZIP to Lucy, who uploaded them to the server for me. I contacted Midco last night about it after diagnosing the problem as best I could... and it would seem to be the modem, as it was having the same problem it is now when it was just my mom's computer connected directly to the cable modem... but they were all busy and a call-back message is left... so hopefully I'll get that this morning. I have a doctor's appointment (three month checkup) today at 11:00 AM... so hopefully before then, too. Bleh. Hopefully it can be fixed... and hopefully it can be fixed today... but bleh. @.@ We'll see. At any rate, I hope that you enjoy today's episode and the PMD. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow and the next update (which I can hopefully do myself), bai! 10.08.03 (October 8th, 2003 CE): PCHAN KOKO!! Pagechan uploaded! Webbychan's pooping errors to the page have been okied now. Thankfully Pchan has access! I wuv you all! 10.08.03 (October 8th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Sage, she's no fun. Her attitude amuses me, though. At any rate, I'm a little earlier today, but I'm not sure what to write. Oh, cause and effect. Mr. Mutzenberger, my instructor for World Religion, mentioned a pedometer program that BSC has put into effect. Basically, the first one-hundred people to sign up would get a free pedometer. Goal for daily walking: 10,000 steps. I have to say, 10,000 steps would be fairly easy for me. It takes around 6,300 to get from BSC to my house. ^^ Yes, I get bored. At any rate, I wish all of you well and hope that you enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Be well. Until tomorrow bai! 10.07.03 (October 7th, 2003 CE): N-finity here again. I have no idea why it didn't show up in my recieved file list, because I shut down zIRC properly when I rebooted earlier... but the PMD was not listed and, for the very reason that I had shut down properly and been disconnected earlier, I assumed I was disconnected when I had previously recieved it. Bleh. @.@ At any rate, here is the PMD. I hope that you enjoy it. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 10.07.03 (October 7th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Erk-erk! Must run! Be well! I don't have the PMD because I was disconnected last night, but I'll send as soon as Pchan sends it to me! Be well! Enjoy your day! Until later today, bai! 10.06.03 (October 6th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Not sure what to say today. I'm needing to get to sleep and go to bed. I've been talking CopyNES with Mike J some, since he might build one, and that's been good fun. I really want to see a few of these things built... and hopefully some of the people I've been talking to about it will be successful. I really hope so. At any rate, I need to sleep a bit before I go to class, so I wish you all well now and shall take my leave. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 10.05.03 (October 5th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Here we are, Episode 791 and Sunday Special #103. For today's Sunday Special we have two pages of Zesty and Captain N: Tales of Videoland each. For Captain N, that means pages 154 and 155. For Zesty, it means pages 38 and 39, with the end of this part of her story! That means, I would expect, the return of Fantella next week... but I can't be sure. We'll have to wait and see. ^^ At any rate, today's episode, Episode 791, is entitled "Waiting In Boredom, Lalala's Room" and is fun. *yawns* We should be returning to Watanga, as well as probably Pchan and myself, in the next few days. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Enjoy our offerings. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 10.04.03 (October 4th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. *yawns and stretches* And that took about an hour to make because of the juice box. ^^ It turned out well and this episode needed it, though, so that's okay. ^^ At any rate, I'm waking, dirty, needing a bath, and going to be helping my little bro upgrade his computer later. We'll probably also be hooking it up to the network today as well. *shrugs* Good stuff, at any rate. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow and the Sunday Special, bai! 10.03.03 (October 3rd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Ow. >.< My knee is hurting off and on. I think I must have done something odd to it yesterday. At any rate, I'm needing to get ready for class - I woke up at 7:58 AM, it's 8:22 AM right now, and I need to get ready for class still. @.@ Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, bai! 10.02.03 (October 2nd, 2003 CE): N-finity here again. Okies, I'm back, and I added the PMD since I forgot to earlier as well as Pchan's little sketch from while he was out eating at The Macaroni Grill. o_o The latter is a bit odd. o_o Pchan gourges happily on pasta. o_o Yeah. @.@ At any rate, I don't think that I've mentioned that I put together my little bro's new old computer. It's a 400 Mhz system, 256 MB of RAM (I upgraded it to 384 MB before he used it, though), and was running Windows 98 with a bunch of crap on the drive. AOL 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0... and I think 9.0 as well. @.@ It also had like three different versions of Peachtree Accounting... and yeah... stuff he didn't need. I uninstalled a good deal of stuff... and its 8.8 GB hard drive is working well to hold what he needs for now. I actually scrapped Windows 98 as well, using 98lite, a interesting frontend-like installer for Windows 95 through Windows ME. I installed the "Chubby" version of Windows ME... and wow... incredibly well does it run. At 400 Mhz... it's running Black & White near flawlessly... and I'll be putting a 700 Mhz chip in this weekend (hopefully) after my dad helps run some Cat-5 cable to his room so we can also put in an ethernet card. *Hopefully* all will be well with it. I believe that it may be so. ^^ Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! OH, wait! It's not that time quite yet. Okay, I don't get bored, you see. If "boredom" was to set in, I end up finding something to occupy my mind before that happens. Sometimes this project created to occupy "boredom" becomes quite popular in terms of what decisions I make. Here is the result of a few hours of redrawing a schematic last night. I am very interested in getting that device built. If anyone here would be willing to consider it... please e-mail me. I, sadly, cannot reasonably do it myself. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, and this time for real, bai! 10.02.03 (October 2nd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Oh, there are things I should speak about... I will try to later. However, I need to get off to class... which is in twenty minutes... and then after that the walk home. I'll do that after that, then. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 10.01.03 (October 1st, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Running just as late again today. Episode is good, blurb is short. Xebnaxian Proverbs are odd. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day, enjoy your life. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 09.30.03 (September 30th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I am running late this morning, so I must keep this short and get off to Calc. I hope that you enjoy the episode. Enjoy your day and be well. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! Erkburgers of forgetment. @.@ And I nearly forget. Happy Birthday, Lalala. I may have forgotten for the first thirty minutes of consciousness, but not all of the first forty. @.@ Be well. Happy Birthday. ^^ 09.29.03 (September 29th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, I was up for around 22 hours, then slept for about sixteen. @.@ My weekend is gone, but it feels like it should just be Sunday. Because of this, I'm needing to hurry. I hope that you enjoy today's episode... and that your day is well. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 09.28.03 (September 28th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Here we are, Episode 784 of N-Fans and Sunday Special #102. For this update, we have two pages, 152 and 153, of Captain N: Tales of Videoland. We also have page 37 of Zesty, which I think Pchan made really excellently, as well as Episode 784 of N-Fans, entitled "Watanga's Xebnaxian Journey: Arrival At The Northern Temple of Friends". I hope that you enjoy our offerings and enjoy yout day. Last night was fun. I went to Wal-Mart with my little bro and dad because he wanted to pick up some needed things and just see if we could find a little fun thing since my mom is gone for the weekend such as a few DVDs or something. I, having been there the day or before earlier when trying to find a backpack, knew that there was a wonderful moocow plushie there: a purple and white baby moocow with a milk bottle. Absolutely adorable. ^^ So, I now have a Baby Moocow plushie that is wonderful and lovely. ^^ And that's about all that's happening around here right now. It's been an otherwise uneventful past 24 hours... or sixteen hours, more accurately, but that is okay. I hope that you enjoy your day and are well. Be well. Until tomorrow, bai! 09.27.03 (September 27th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Oh my. @.@ I slept like thirteen to fourteen hours. @.@ I apologize. I hope that you enjoy this episode. Be well, everyone. I'm sorry. @.@ Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 09.26.03 (September 26th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. It's Friday and I need to run. I woke up about four hours later than I had intended to and I'm now needing to take a bath and thus get a ride to class because of time constraints. @.@ Grah. Bleh. Be well, everyone. Enjoy the episode. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, bai! 09.25.03 (September 25th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Pchan asked me to keep the PMD up today as well in case some people missed it yesterday and didn't check the archives since it wasn't here on Tuesday. *laughs* It works. At any rate, because of my error, he decided to rest today with PMD. Next Tuesday will bring a new one. Bleh. Yesterday... I try to tighten my shoelace... and it violently seperates from itself. -_- So right now I have this mini-tie on my right shoe. It is now fun. -_- Bleh. At any rate, I'm only just very slowly waking, and I need to get going off to class. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, enjoy your day. Until then, bai! 09.24.03 (September 24th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I forgot to put up the PMD until around 7:00 PM last night, so I'm leaving it up today as well. You can always see it in the PMD archives, but this way seems better. At any rate, I have a Calc test today, so I'm going to go off to finish some study for that before the class. Be well, everyone. Enjoy the episode. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, bai! 09.23.03 (September 23rd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I woke up later than I meant to. @.@ 7:00 AM. I was shooting for around 4:00 AM. Oh well. I'm up now, the episode is done, and most of the water from where I knocked over the pail full of water when I got up for a few minutes in the night is gone... I think. @.@ Bleh. At any rate, I need to finish getting ready to go off to class, so I wish you well. Until tomorrow, be well. Until then, bai! 09.22.03 (September 22nd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, I'm needing to pack up my backpack and get going for class, but here's the episode before I do that. I think that it turned out rather well, personally, and I hope that you do as well. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 09.21.03 (September 21st, 2003 CE): N-finity here again. And here we are again, a little less than two hours later, with Episode 777, entitled "Waking From A Dream". I hope that you enjoy this episode and what it contains. A bit of pandemonium in the Mansion. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, bai! N-finity here. Erk. @.@ I'm late. @.@ I'm actually not even done with the episode yet, but Pchan encouraged me to put up the other parts of this Sunday Special first so that you get something now, and then you can get the rest in a little bit. I apologize for the delay, but you've got lots here already. Page 151 of of Captain N: Tales of Videoland. Pages 35-36 of Magic Princess Zesty. We've also got Erk and Squeek, two oddly named pieces of artwork by Dynamo, as well as an oekaki by Cassie of Moocow in the artwork section. We've also got a fourth piece of artwork, of Simon Belmont in a more classic garb, by Dan Marsico as well. Additionally, we've got pages 53-73 of the SMB2 coloring book... as well as the back cover... which I didn't think I was getting last week because I thought page 52 was the final page as it was in the SMB1 coloring book. Finally, we've got a somewhat sad remembrance by Lord Watanga to Johnny Cash, who sadly, as almost all of you know, died last week, as well as John Ritter. Happy memories to all of them. Condolances to those that have waited behind. Be well, everyone. Enjoy the Sunday Special so far. The episode should be up soon. Be well, everyone. Until the addition of the episode, bai! 09.20.03 (September 20th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Soda is a necessity. It really is. From around 4:00 PM yesterday to around noon today I was only up around three or four hours, tired for almost all of it. It was not happy. I had not had soda and there was the headache and the tiredness and it was not the happiness. At any rate, I woke up around noon... and the episode came slowly... very slowly... and it is now here. Team Yellow... finally back at the Mansion... minus Lalala. :/ Sadness is that. This is the final written script I have for Team Yellow. I have an outline of what is to come after this, but Lalala is nearing (or at least was nearing) a point where she can finally pull together episodes herself again. I do have Adam Solo scripts, but Team Yellow, just outline. Hrm... At any rate, I have lots of good stuff already contributed to me for tomorrow... and I'll try to get it all up. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow and the Sunday Special, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 09.19.03 (September 19th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. It was two years ago in #Captain_N today that Pchan and I met for the first time. It has been a wonderful two years. As a small little present, I have prepared for him a PHP archive for PMD. You'll notice the new button in the right nav menu. Enjoy it. Be well, everyone, for I must now rush off to class. Enjoy the episode. Enjoy the day. Until tomorrow, my love to my buns. Until tomorrow, be well. Until tomorrow, bai! 09.18.03 (September 18th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Odd dreams last night... dreams about being with Founder, a dog that lived with my family when I was younger, and her talking to me about my little brother, life... just talking. She was younger than she was in my experiences with her in life... and more vividly colored, too. A very interesting dream. Along with that there was another dream. In the dream I was with Zach Nevland, a friend of mine. We were wandering, looking for things. He was a Don Quixote; I was a Sancho Panza to him. He sought youth. We ventured playgrounds, discussions, even following a bus on bouncy-ball things... but in the end, the dream came down to me saying in response to Zach's cry of "I want to go to Funland!" that "Funland doesn't exist for us [the way it did back then] anymore. It exists the way it does for them now." It wasn't a dream saying that youth is lost. Not at all. Rather, it said that youth is a part of us we keep inside of us. We cannot find it outside of ourselves if we cannot find it in ourselves. A very interesting dream, indeed. There were other dreams... some quite magnificent... a stream... a visit to houses I've had in my dreams before... even a memory in the dream of the dream I had with the hidden area of this house that I live in now, a wonderfully barren place that would be wonderful to clean up and fix and make my own. A shame that it does not exist in this reality as it does in my dreams. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Enjoy the episode. Until tomorrow, bai! PCHAN KOKO!! Happy birthday Hawkychan! I love you lots and we all love you and wish you a happy 20th birthday. WUV! :D 09.17.03 (September 17th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I had a wonderful ten hour sleep. @.@ But now I am finished with this episode and must get ready for classes. Calc, UNIX, and Assembly. A decent class set. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day. Be well. Until tomorrow, bai! 09.16.03 (September 16th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I saw truly the most amazing documentary last night in the theaters. "Winged Migrations". A French documentary of bird migrations that was filmed over the course of four years. Sounds like a snoozer. :P But it really is amazing. o_o You know those beautiful shots of birds and other creatures that you sometimes see? In another film it might be called the "money shot" or some such. Well, that's what this film is. Every scene is amazing. When you're in front of a forty foot screen and thirty-five feet of that is taken up by the neck of a goose, where you can see every feather in detail... where you follow the migration of a many groups, but the same groups for each species, thousands of miles... that's what this is. It's absolutely breathtaking. There are perhaps a little over a dozen lines of dialog in the entire movie... but it's a movie that speaks without them. A universal language of beauty and nature. Majestic. Incredible. If you can see it, please do. There are some parts which are used to draw contrast that I am not very fond of, but they are the scenes that express feelings of humans and their actions. You must see it. Please do. Be well, everyone. I wish you well. Until tomorrow and then next episode, bai! 09.15.03 (September 15th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. And here we are, 771, and I'm running late for class again. I'm hoping for a ride, and hopefully I can get it. If not, I'll have to hurry a bit more. *laughs* It's okay, though. Be well, everyone. I hope that you enjoy this episode. Be well. Until tomorrow, bai! 09.14.03 (September 14th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Wow. 100 of 'em. ^^ Well, today's a rather big update, as you might have hoped and expected. At any rate, let's begin with the dissection of all we have. For this, the One-Hundredth Sunday Special, we have Episode 770 of N-Fans, entitled "After Doings". We also have two full pages of both Zesty and Captain N: Tales of Videoland. For Zesty, we have pages 33 and 34. For Captain N, we have pages 149 and 150. We also have some more special things for this update, including Fantella in a shoujo style, more like Zesty, and a nice selection of characters from various mangas Pchan does for the Happy 100th Sunday Special image. Also, as you may have noticed, we have another coloring book! *laughs* Yep... I'm continuing the time for the coloring contest to next Sunday Special. The ten selections below are, for the first line, the new options for you to color and submit. The second line are last weeks, from which you are still encouraged to choose if you like as well. I've recieved around a half-dozen submissions, but I'd like to see more. ^^ Come on and submit! ^^ Be well, everyone. Enjoy the episode. Enjoy your day. I hope that the offers Pchan and I have made to you today, along with the help of Oracle of Wuffing for the coloring book scans, please you. Be well. Until tomorrow and the next update, bai! Super Mario Bros. 2 Page 12 Page 14 Page 20 Page 31 Page 33 Super Mario Bros. Page 4 Page 08 Page 10 Page 21 Page 44 PCHAN KOKO!! Welcome to the 100th Sunday Special. Wow. I can't believe we made it this far! I used to have a problem actually getting stories beyond page 20 when I would write them, much less page 100! It really makes me happy to see that you've enjoyed and supported the manga for this long. Here's to hoping we reach another 100 as strongly as the first! Thankies for 100!! I've included for your enjoyment a personal and very special thank-you commemorative card just for you, the readers, to thank you for your support for 100 great weeks. I've also thrown in as a bonus a picture of Fantella in shoujo-style (used in Magic Princess Zesty), CGed with the help of a wonderful program called Pixia. I hope you'll enjoy it! Again, thank you all for supporting the manga for these wonderful weeks. Thanks to Webbychan for suggesting this in the first place, and thanks to each and every person in the IRC channel for always being so supportive. Thank you all. I truly, honestly love you all! 09.13.03 (September 13th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Wow. Mega-sleep and ultra-dreams. Dreams of a friend from youth giving me a cross between a snail and a hermit crab... incredible... and then there was the quantum mechanics discussion... and everything else... it was just a night of incredible dreams... wonderful. At any rate, because of that, I slept... and slept... and slept... and yeah. @.@ I slept a little more. It was full of good dreams, but too much sleeping. At any rate, my little brother is sick... so my sleeping was probably also connected to that as I do these huge sleeps most commonly when I'm doing illness avoidance or such. Enjoy the episode, everyone. Tomorrow's Sunday Special should be grand. Be well. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 09.12.03 (September 12th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Running late! @.@ I woke up at 7:07 AM and it's 7:50 now and I need to be out of here by about 8:00 AM. I wish you all well. Enjoy your day. Be well. Bai! 09.11.03 (September 11th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I'm sorry for being late this morning. I was busy finishing an update to The Shyguy Kingdom that has been about a week in coming. 65535, or (2^16)-1, is the current sprite total. It's the highest integer number you can fit in an unsigned 16 bit integer... so it seemed worth making a little bit of a deal out of it there. At any rate, I hope that you all have a great day and are well. I'm going to be going to class in a bit - I have to drop something off before noon and I forgot it yesterday so I have to go to class early today - but that's okay. Enjoy the episode. Enjoy your day. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, bai! PCHAN KOKO!! Hello everyone! I just wanted to say hello and let you know that everything is going okay here and that life is at last settling back down into a nicer, calmer pace. My grandmother went through her hip replacement surgery very well and has had a speedy and healthy recovery. She's still working on getting fully back to where she was before, but she's moving so fast! It really makes me happy to see her feeling better than she was before her surgery. As some of you may already know, I've had to take over a lot of duties around the house to pick up the slack, and I'm actually settling into them pretty nicely! It's nice to have a kitchen that I can call my own. As you all probably noticed...or maybe I should say 'hopefully noticed'...Pchan Mahou Densetsu has returned today, after an absence of one and a half weeks! I'm sorry I wasn't able to do the cheerful and fun twice-weekly trips to the wonderful world of xebnax, but now the adventures have returned! I hope you enjoy them. I also hope you'll all be here on Sunday for the exciting 100th Sunday Special, with a very special gift for you all, the readers. Thank you for supporting the site and our creative works for so long. WUV! WUV! 09.10.03 (September 10th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, here we are today. I finally recieved my book for my Assembly class two days ago, which is a good thing, but it adds some weight to the backpack. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are heavy days, backpack-wise. It's mostly due to the Calculus book, which is probably around ten pounds, the seeming standard for Calculus books. I really do ponder why they aren't available in a more broken-up format, such as Calc I, Calc II, and Calc III, much like the classes are. It would make it a lot more reasonable purchase ($45.00 per semester instead of $130.00 at the first semester) and so much less a hassle to carry. Also today is is the hopeful switching of the non-functional hard drive caddies for the functional ones... that'd be a nice thing... *checks the class website* Yay! It appears that we will be switching them today! *puts the mega-screwdriver of sword-fighting and defense in his backpack* (It's over a foot long... incredibly strong... great screwdriver... doesn't bend like some others I've used. @.@ If I were attacked in a dark alley, it would be a worthy weapon. *chucks in a smaller one with it* Always be prepared for the big one not being able to reach the screws, though. @.@) Yay, we'll be installing Solaris 9 today, too. Spiffy. Okies. Also, I've released the program that I've so long spoken of... or at least the first publicly available version of it... and that's available through the Forums in the UNIForm topic in the General Lounge. I make no guarentees with it, though, so don't use unless you back up, first. At any rate, be well and enjoy your day. I wish you well until tomorrow and the next episode. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, bai! 09.09.03 (September 9th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Happy Birthday, Kevin. I've updated Captain N sector with a few enjoyable offerings. A background, some improved music. Pchan even baked a cake for you. I hope that you may enjoy these things. Be well, Kevin. May your coming year be more pleasant than any before and journey be full of adventure. Fourteen years is a long time, but fifteen years will be amazing. Be well, Kevin. Until tomorrow, bai! 09.08.03 (September 8th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I need to run, lest I be late for class, but I wish you all a good day. Enjoy the episode and be well. Until tomorrow, bai! 09.07.03 (September 7th, 2003 CE): N-finity here for the fourth time. I noticed it yesterday, but forgot to say it earlier today... so I say it now. Happy birthday, Gany. ^^ N-finity here for a third time. Okay, we've talked it over in #Captain_N. The general feeling is that a selection of a pages, instead of just one or all, would be a better choice. Therefore, we've settled upon the following five images: Page 4 Page 08 Page 10 Page 21 Page 44 These five pages are your options. From them, you may do whatever you want as long as the original image remains intact. You may use Photoshop. You may use MS Paint. You may use whatever art program you wish. You may also print it out, if you wish, and use crayons, markers, or whatever you think would be best for it, then rescan it and send it in like that. If you want, you can add features... but that's up to you. Depending on the amount of submissions, we'll break it off into different categories. However, we'll definitely do a split between art programs and actual crayons and markers. I'm actually excited to see what some of you can do with the good old tools of youth. At any rate, send an e-mail to me at coloringcontest@captainn.net with your e-mail address, your name, your age, your website (if you have one), and your submission and, probably by next Sunday, we'll have the results. Feel free to submit as many colorings as you wish, but we'll only use what we consider your top two for the contest. Be well and enjoy! Bai!^^ N-finity here again. Okay, we're there! We've got the episode up, and the other part of the Sunday Special which I found out I had to do a little more to before I was finished. At any rate, for this, the Ninety-Ninth Sunday Special, we have, of course, an episode of N-Fans. It's Episode 763, entitled "Watanga's Xebnaxian Journey: The Library Search". Additionally, we have 48 out of 52 pages of Golden's Super Mario Bros. Big Color/Activity Book as well as the front and back cover for it thanks to Oracle of Wuffing of the IRC channel contributing his scans to the site. I've spent several good hours restoring these pages, so I hope that you enjoy them. As such, we're talking in #Captain_N about having a coloring contest of some sorts. Whether it ends up being coloring a specific page from the book or the page of your choice, I hope that you'll consider joining this little contest once we decide how to do it. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow (or the decision regarding the coloring contest, at least), be well. Until then, bai! N-finity here. I'm running behind because of sleeping seventeen hours pretty much straight (and having washed the dishes at least three times as well as negotiated a peace treaty in my dreams), but the episode is here. It's around noon right now, and everything else should be up in about twenty minutes. I'm not sure if there's manga this week because Pchan didn't seem to send it, but the other things I have will hopefully be something you consider enjoyable enough to make up for it. Back in twenty! Be well! 09.06.03 (September 6th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, I've had a semi-breakthrough with my program that I haven't talked about in awhile now. I've finally been able to get a compression DLL functioning. I was having some luck with zlib.dll, a fairly small, fairly standard one, but it was only working with one version, and not the version that Windows XP comes with, which seems to be a modified version of the current release as it's nearly twice the size. At any rate, it doesn't work with the class module I was using it with... so I'm trying another one and, although it's a lot larger than zlib, functionality is important. At any rate, I apologize for being about ninety minutes later than normal due to that, but I am done now. Enjoy the episode and be well. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 09.05.03 (September 5th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. I'll keep this blurb short because Pchan is about to go to sleep and I want him to see this before he goes off to bed. Oh, and just to give you a heads-up, I have some really fun stuff for Sunday's update thanks to a person in channel. I think you'll like what it is. ^^ At any rate, be well, enjoy today's episode, and enjoy your day. Be well. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 09.04.03 (September 4th, 2003 CE): N-finity here. *stretches* This episode took a good time to make. Getting the library as I wished was most of it. I really like how the tiling and shelves turned out. The Sage of the Library is fun, too. At any rate, I won't keep this episode for you any longer. Also, I should note (as I haven't) that the reason PMD isn't here this week is because Pchan is spending a lot of time with his grandmother and trying to make her recovery more pleasant. Hopefully it will return next week. I hope so and think so. Be well, everyone. Enjoy the episode. Enjoy your day. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 09.03.03 (September 3rd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. Well, today I'm hopefully getting my hard drive caddy, a thing which I need for a class today. The college bookstore has supposed to have had it since Thursday... but they haven't. -_- It's bleh, and I don't really want to get into it right now but might later. At any rate, I need to print off chapter one of my Assembly class's book... so I'm going to do that. I hope that you enjoy this episode and have a good day. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 09.02.03 (September 2nd, 2003 CE): N-finity here. *yawns* I am tired. I napped around two hours before this update, but it was light and not the restful sleep that I would have wished for. It was good, however, and fine. At any rate, I'm needing to already get ready for classes, so I'll keep this blurb short. Be well, everyone. Enjoy your day and enjoy the episode. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 09.01.03 (September 1st, 2003 CE): N-finity here. And now, we see the Library of the Sage of the Library. This Sage is odd. That's all I can say about her. @.@ Then again, perhaps Sir Gramalan is just being a bit... theatrical. It's a common Xebnaxian trait. *yawns* I am tired. I've been up for around twenty hours or so... there was a short nap... but that was around sixteen hours ago. *yawns* OH! I got an AWESOME Sailor Venus statue from my cousin in Hong Kong! ^o^ There was a bit of damage in transit (her neck has a little... let us say... "cramp" right now... but that can be easily mended.) But she is around sixteen inches tall and absolutely wonderful. ^^ Once she has her neck fixed I'll see if I can get a picture of her. o_o She is gorgeous! O_O At any rate, be well, everyone. Enjoy your day and enjoy the episode. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! 08.31.03 (August 31st, 2003 CE): N-finity here. The Sunday Special that would not end, I swear! O_O Okay, I was done with the episode... and then I realized that I had manga to optimize and get up. And then I found that I had two pin-ups to put up. And then I found that I had Pchan blurb to put up. And then I found that I had still a need to make a Pchan Thingie! @.@ So, yeah, here's the breakdown... For this, the Ninety-Eighth Sunday Special, we have Episode 756 of N-Fans, entitled "Adam Departs On His Journey", as well as page 148 of Captain N: Tales of Videoland and page 32 of Zesty. We also have a clean-up and reorganization of the Super Metroid comics, as well as a collection of Topps Nintendo cards from 1989. About fifteen of the scratch cards are missing, and I haven't scanned my stickers yet, but I am quite sure that you will enjoy them regardless. Also, I must thank Titan for the Punch-Out! cards (of which I can find none of mine) as well as one of the Mario cards as well as one of the Zeldas. Thank you very much for this. Finally, as I mentioned before, we have two pin-ups this week: one of Zesty and one of Pit & Rock. Enjoy them both. With that said, Pchan's blurb begins. Be well, everyone. Until tomorrow, I wish you well. Until then, bai! PCHAN KOKO!! Pchan is tired...I'm sorry there's only one page of each manga this week, but I explain below. I also have included a Pit and Rock pinup, inspired by the Tori Amos song '1000 Oceans', which is unfinished as posted. I did this so that everyone could enjoy it, since the other pinups were also sensual but not explicit; however, this one requires the addition of certain anatomical correctness! The finished picture will be provided next week on the Sunday Special for the enjoyment of those of our audience wanting to see it. Well, I'm sure if you follow the manga you've noticed somewhat sporadic output, and there's a reason for that. You see, my grandmother's going into hospital for hip replacement surgery next week, and it's been a madhouse around here getting ready for that. I'm going to have to do a lot of things that she would normally do, and help her get settled back in once she's returned. Also, the Lord Watanga as well is going in for oral surgery next month and that's something I need to help with too. Even our own neko-mattchan has just returned from hernia surgery, healthfully too, thankfully! I'm also working a renaissance faire on the weekends...it's the first year of this particular faire, so there's much to be done. I tell fortunes, I'm a Romani/Gypsy! It's magnificent fun but also a great deal of hard work, especially in full costume in this horrible, humid heat eight hours a day. But that's not all that's on my plate right now. I've also got a lot going on at school thanks to the sheer incompetence of several people, and I'm having to deal with that on top of everything else. And all this along with everything else is making Pchan quite a stressed boy. So I just wanted to let you know that in case I have to take a week or two off, I will be back because you all mean so much to me that I would always keep working hard on the manga and Pchan Mahou Densetsu for you. I don't like to leave you with nothing in a week. It makes me feel unprofessional. But I might have to take a week or two off entirely and just get everything sorted out here. I hope you'll all understand. By the way, if you haven't visited my new site it's at http://hushicho.captainn.net and you can buy things via the shop and support the manga! Please do help if you can...there's a lot of fun stuff! I also love to receive email and forum messages, and if you want to stop by the IRC chat room, please do! I hope you all have a wonderful week and have good health and happiness. Love, Pchan and the moocows n.n Previous To August 31st, 2003 CE Central Info - Updates Archive Sector Menu Central Info Captain N Zelda Sprite Comics Nintendo Power NES IRC Chat Forum Search Highlights Affiliates
